At present, the relevant researches of Glulam columns in China are mainly restricted to short columns. In order to study the mechanical properties of long columns under axial loading, an experimental study on five different slenderness ratios of Larch Glulam columns was carried out. With slenderness ratio changing, the variations of experimental data such as axial strain, lateral deflection at mid-height, ultimate bearing capacity, and peak strain were comparatively analyzed. The failure pattern and failure mechanism of long columns were discussed. The results indicate that the ultimate bearing capacity of Larch Glulam columns gradually decreases as the slenderness radio increases and the failure mode is gradually converted from strength failure to instability failure. The ultimate load reduction factor is obtained by regression analysis based on the experiment results of Larch Glulam short columns. The basis for design and application of Larch Glulam columns are provided.

This work presents an experimental study on the flexural behavior of steel tube slab composite beams subjected to pure bending. The main design elements considered in the work are the flange thickness, reinforcement ratio of high strength bolts, spacing between the tubes, and transverse patterns of the tube connections. Based on nine flexural experiments on simply supported steel tube slab specimens, the failure process and crack development in steel tube slab specimens, and their load–deflection curves are investigated. The results of the laboratory tests show that the welding of the bottom flange significantly improves the flexural capacity of the steel tube slab structure. In addition, a lower concrete’s compressive strength improves the ductility of the steel tube slab specimens. Moreover, the flexural capacities predicted from the design guidelines are in good agreement with the experimental test results. Finally, based on the numerical simulations using the ABAQUS software, a numerical model is established to further investigate the effect of the additional parameters on the flexural capacity of steel tube slab structures. The numerical results suggested that the diameter of the steel bolts and the reinforcement ratio have a limited effect on the flexural bearing capacity of the steel tube slab beams, and the ultimate bearing capacity increases linearly along with increase in the diameter of the steel bolts and the reinforcement ratio in a certain range.

The Impact

Utilizing general finite element software ANSYS, the finite element computing model of the steel spatial tubular joint is built, which is used to analyze the mechanical properties under dead loads through changing its design parameters. According to the obtained and compared consequences, the different design parameters including stiffening ring thickness, cross-shaped ribbed plate thickness and stiffening ring length exert different influence on ultimate bearing capacity of the steel spatial tubular joint. Specifically, the ultimate bearing capacity under dead loads is affected by setting stiffening ring and changing cross-shaped ribbed plate thickness significantly. In contrast, if the thickness and length of stiffening ring are changed, the impact is insignificant. The results and conclusion can provide reference which is useful to optimize the design of steel spatial tubular joint in such category.

The Impact

In systems of external reinforcement on the basis of carbon fibers used for strengthening concrete structures, special attention should be paid to the anchoring of carbon reinforcement elements. Taking into account their installation in the external reinforcement system in the reinforced structure, the anchoring elements can work on the shear. At the same time, the nature of such operatioj as a whole is insufficiently studied, which raises many questions both about their calculation and their design. In order to improve calculation and design methods of carbon anchors, special experimental studies of the parameters of anchors and their impact on the bearing capacity of the anchor fastening were carried out. These studies relate to the length of the anchorage in the concrete body, maximum shear forces, ultimate deformations of the anchor etc. According to the results of the experiments conducted, the analysis of results obtained was performed, in particular, various schemes of destruction of anchors were analyzed and the impact of the depth of the anchor, its diameter of the anchor, as well as the type of binder on the degree of theirdestruction were studied.

Improvement Effect

The improvement effect of the external concrete to stability of the core steel-tube was demonstrated by the steel-tube replacement ratio through experimental study. The test results show that, with the steel-tube replacement ratio increasing, the ultimate bearing capacity of composite columns increased correspondingly, and the ductility of composite columns was improved obviously also. Therefore, the steel-tube replacement ratio should be involved in the formula for calculating the ultimate bearing capacity of composite columns. By finite element method and regression analysis, the slenderness ratio is amended by the steel-tube replacement ratio and the calculation results of the eccentric compression bearing capacity agreed well with the test results．

The Impact

This paper aims to study the distribution characteristics of the ratio of measured value and calculated value for ultimate bearing capacity, shaft resistance and tip resistance, and discuss the impact of shaft resistance and tip resistance on ultimate bearing capacity. A new performance function is proposed in terms of the three types of bearing capacity mentioned ahead. Take bored piles and driven piles for example, and the results from analysis indicate that the ratio of the measured value to calculated value of bored piles ranges from 0.75 to 1.45, and mostly is greater than 1.0; The ratio of the measured to predicted bearing capacity of driven piles lies between 0.8 and 1.5, and is larger than the corresponding ratio of bored piles. In addition, the reliability of tip resistance is lager than that of shaft resistance for bored pile, while the reliability of tip resistance is less than that of shaft resistance for driven piles. Meanwhile, the method presented in this paper can offer references to designers for revising and improving the technical code for pile foundations.
